Just seen the new Peugeot Travel liner on youtube which is going to be the New E7 Hopefully. Cab direct have said might be for sale around September time. It looks very nice indeed

Why does it need another door? Looking at the pictures above there are 2 doors on each side. :?

After seeing some of Cab Directs bodge jobs these last few months I wouldn't buy anything from them. Some dealerships aren't entertaining warranty work if they've been converted by Allied Vehicles.

Steer clear.

I was told this by a Glasgow cabbie a few months ago, he mentioned that it was not suitable to be converted and that the E7 will be no more. I took it with a pinch of salt and carried on my way. Looks like he was right! #-o

He also mentioned that Cab Direct / Allied are trying to push a Ford Transit Converted Taxi into the Glasgow market! Now that will be a real van!!!

I will be keeping my cab till it fall's apart I hate transits no one will get in them on my rank everyone walks round them
The transit is far to big the floor height is at knee level so with an under floor ramp you will need more than a side step but a full set of decorators' ladders just to get in. Not very friendly for the elderly
Shame as the E7 is a perfect size cab all round

Got a price from them when I was told no more E7 Peugeot
£42.000 for the new model
Way to much money to justify once you put the interest on top of that
Still my E7 62 plate only has 223.000 miles on it. So got another 5 years to worry about my next cab
I Don't think so. But saying that my mate got 402.000 out of his
